This has been hidden in developer options for a while now, but they're now releasing it officially. Limited to Pixel 8 and newer devices and no 4k yet.

A PC where I can't install what I want? WTF is the point of that bullshit.

Thanks but I'll stick to my steam deck for my portable Linux computing needs where I can do what the hell I want.

    I'm sure it'll go pretty well on GrapheneOS

    Not sure why everyone seems to think GrapheneOS is going to be immune and unaffected by Google actively trying to fuck AOSP to death.

    Oh good, so when AOSP is dead in the water, at least GrapheneOS can release hardware without an OS on it?

    I guess there is logic to it, the most secure mobile device you can have is none...
